HBOT for veterans with TBI

The video found here is from a Louisiana TV news station interview with Dr. Paul Harch regarding the small ongoing study currently in progress looking into the effects of HBOT on veterans with TBI. Hopefully larger studies focused on HBOT and brain injury will take place. In my opinion, if HBOT can measurably help people with brain injury recover some lost function, it's worth putting time, energy and resources into further research.

About Me

I am the father of a wonderful 10 year old who suffered from lack of oxygen at birth (hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE)), along with seizures shortly after birth. He has cerebral palsy, GERD, gastroparesis, developmental delay and cortical vision impairment (CVI), as well as secondary microcephaly (small head circumference) due to this lack of oxygen at birth. My wife and I have researched standard and alternative therapies for these conditions. This site's purpose is to discuss these treatments and their effectiveness.
